Re: Barners Selling Parts Beware
That's because you are honest and have pleasant memories of doing business with those just like you. Heart hardening though when that honestly is taken advantage of.............

those pens may not be a bad idea for swap meets- for as cheap as they are (3 pack for $10 - pick it up in the store) its a quick wise investment. if that $10 saves you $100 its a no brainier.

Increase in the National Debt for each president. The percentage increase is what they added to the debt from the previous presidency. Truman 3% Eisenhower 5% Kennedy 8% Johnson 13% Nixon 34% Ford 47% Carter 43% Reagan 186% H.W. Bush 54% Clinton 32% W. Bush 101% Obama 56% Guess this means that I should raise the prices on my Model A parts at the next swap meet. :-) |

Re: Barners Selling Parts Beware
Dean,
I can't find your numbers for the national debt you posted. I don't believe they are correct. Obama's debt is much higher in both percentage and actual dollars by far than any other president. Obama will almost double the national debt from about $10 to more than $19 trillion before he leaves office. Where did you get your figures? Rusty Nelson |

Re: Barners Selling Parts Beware
Rowdy,
If you are asking me - nobody. I was suspicious from near the start in the first case and as things progressed it was very apparent there was a RAT. In the second case I smelled a RAT from the beginning. I did not loose anything except some time. I did not attempt to cash any check. The names do not make any difference as they were either made up or dead as in the first case. |

When you suspect a SCAMMER, just E-Mail back, "YOU ARE A SCAMMER" & they almost always GO AWAY.

My point was that things go up under any administration, some more than others. It essentially independent of which party is in office. However, Model A prices and Model A parts prices seem to stay pretty constant through the years...no matter what happens to the GDP, national debt, etc. I agree with Jeff.....Now back to Model A's and how to catch them stinking scammers. |

Cash may be King, but it's precious metals that rule...gold, silver and lead.

Re: Barners Selling Parts Beware
A number of years ago I had a car for sale on "Carsonline" I was asking $24,000 for the car. I was contacted via email with an offer to buy the car for $30,000 and he would send me a cashiers check for that amount. I was then supposed to Western Union him the difference of $6,000. This guy even told me where my closest Western Union office was. Long story short-I finally received a cashier's check for $30,000 made out to me. I held it up to the light and it looked good right down to the watermarks. It came in a plain white envelope with German postage on it and no return address and no cover letter. I was able to contact the bank the check originally came from. The gal at the bank asked me the check # and the account # on the check. She told me that the check was no good (which I already knew). At one point in time these were legit cashiers checks from this bank. Apparently there was an inside job where someone stole a bunch of blank cashiers checks and must of sold them on the internet. She said that normally the bank would request me to send them the check, but they already had a file full of bogus checks.
I knew this was a scam from the get-go. I just wanted a $30,000 cashiers check made out to me to hang on the wall in my office. I contacted the "buyer" via email and told him I was informed by the bank the check was no good. I ended my email by stating, "Nice try A-hole". Surprise, surprise- I never heard back from him. This was several years ago and this scam is still going on in one form or another. |

Re: Barners Selling Parts Beware
I am definately with you on this Charlie. Starting out a deal with trust being questioned can only end badly. Rod

Re: Barners Selling Parts Beware
I always prefer to take a PERSONAL CHECK for all purchases. What scammer would send that?!!! Just deposit said check and when the bank clears it (usually three days) I ship the product. In 20+ years of selling on the net I have never had a problem with a personal check. Simple.
